A 41-year-old Columbus-area man was armed with several knives when he used a woman's ID to try to buy a plane ticket Wednesday afternoon at Port Columbus Airport, police said. When he returned to his illegally parked car, Abdul-Rasheed lunged at officers multiple times with a knife before being shot and killed, reports the New York Daily News.

When officers searched Abdul-Rasheed's body, they discovered "additional knives." Police called in a bomb squad to investigate the car and a search turned up "suspicious items," officials said.

The suspect's motives are unclear.
